I really hope that while making this video, Levy was reminded of how well he can play, and how good he really is at his best. The IM title is a huge accomplishment, and not only is he a great teacher, he really is a great player as well.
ngl even though every one seems to have given up on him becoming GM, I still wanna see him push for it religiously, I'll always be waiting no matter how many years it takes him
i found 4 of the 5 brilliant moves, i found them by looking at the position then finding the move that looked like the biggest blunder that could be played.
I found the first and didnt try to find the rest, why? Because I straight up guessed the Brilliants, only after seeing that square was defended did Levy just tell me it was the Brilliant. Yeah.
Levy's brilliant moves: queen sac that leads to forced checkmate in 6 My brilliant moves: I don't know what to do in this endgame, i'll just move this pawn
That last sequence was magical. I love that the knight has just been chilling in defence and in the last minutes of the game races up the field and sets up the winning goal.
On the last one I thought I was so smart for finding the immediate queen sac idea after they took the rook, but then I was like "aw crap"at 28:10 when he went Bd4 attacking the queen since I figured there was a problem I missed with the queen sac which is why he didn't play it Then I felt really great about myself again at 30:20 when it turned out that my combination not only was right but a move faster than Levy's most brilliant combo 😎
I have a video idea, if you like it: “Top 5 best moves that wasn’t played.” It would be Stockfish with some crazy tactics that wasn’t spotted by the player in a game. Might be hard to find some games, but I think it’ would be a interesting video.
Schnitzel is actually Austrian. It is called Wiener Schnitzel, after the capital; Vienna. You should have put "bratwurst" for Germany. The more you know Levy ;) love the vid anyways!
Schnitzel ist lecker.... But yeah a Bratwurst would have been slightly more fitting, but duh... Its a stereotype about us... so... Sauerkraut with Kartoffel and Bratwurst would be "typical"
It's probably old enough as a recipe for it to have been developed when Vienna was still part of "Germany". Or one of it's predecessors. Not sure if that makes Levy technically correct because Schnitzel is definitely more Austrian than German.
@@kaschmir3 uhm. There was no Germany before 1871. There was the Holy Roman Empire, which was basically funtioning like a lot of little countries held in power from one ruler (the holy roman emperor) and there was the Eastern- Habsburg empire, which was about the same but a yet still different. Actually Vienna was never a part of Germany except the time when hitler occupied it. So please learn before you speak. (And I mean it in the kindest manner possible)
It’s so nice to see a video where you’re excited for yourself and your chess rather than being so hard on yourself! Glad to see positive Levy is back :D
the fact that levy not only found these brilliant moves, but found them with literal seconds left on the clock is insane. cant wait until your a grandmother you definitely deserve it 💕
I agree about seeing mistakes titled players make. It gives me confidence that, say, people rated 2000 can be open for blunders. Also sometimes learning a tactical pattern a 2200+ player missed but that seems intuitive to me is a confidence booster. It gives me an idea of what I can maybe focus on.
I'm proud I actually spotted the better variation of #1, and I know it's easier because we know to expect something brilliant but I'm bad at chess so I'm happy to see it
me watching this: Hm, im sure i can do moves like that! Stockfish: Okay, your move. me: *blunders checkmate* Stockfish: me: Stockfish: What is wrong with you?
Thank you again for highlighting your mistakes as well as the brilliant moves, this is very relatable and inspiring! In my games: "Yes, I'm a genius, I see a checkmate!" Computer: "You moron, this has been hanging for three moves now"
What about a video(series), where your subscribers can send their own brilliant moves and you pick the best/most interesting ones? I think this would be pretty awesome because the feeling to play a brilliancy as a amateur chess player is probably even more amazing than for a titled player :)
dude the last one was absolutely ridiculous. like you'd see up till the last knight check but then i was like shit i cant mate cuz then he just takes my knight. taking the pawn with check and then mating is just absolute brilliance. rlly great stuff. pls post more of these
Suggestion - Make a series called spotlight where you put players in the the spotlight like maybe show games from their childhoods or something like that
Hello gotham ! Quick question: After watching these games, these wins are nothing compared to the brilliancy you made in your game versus peter svidler, why didn't u include it ?
Yesterday I was playing a match ,and during middle-game ,I attacked his queen with my knight ,and he did the same thinking it's the right use of danger levels ,but little did he knew....it was a damn BLUNDER ,Then...I immediately got a GREAT move and right after his turn ,a BRILLIANT move (It was sort of a Greek gift sac. not exactly)
Ive gotten two brilliant moves as a beginner. Both of them were me accidentally hanging a piece while trying to go for a checkmate that I promptly blundered and lost the game a few moves later.
the last one remembered me the first time i could perform a smothered mate, i felt so proud of myself, also there was another attempt where i didn't noticed that there was a queen instead of a rock next to the king and so... i lost trying to checkmate
at 5:08 there’s a better move, once the bishop takes the second rook, take with the knight which would then be defended by the queen which also invokes a fork on the white queen and rook
I've recently been playing Blitz and have got my first 2 Brilliant Moves ever it's a very nice feeling. One was to sack my Rook in order to force their Queen onto a square where it would be forked with the King. The other was another Rook sack to break up the pawns protecting their King allowing an all-out assault. In both games I was losing but through the sacrifice of material I was able to set up winning tactics. I also lost both games on time...
15:08 has changed the entire way I view chess. I have been playing for 13 years, and his decision to completely ignore queen side in favour for a sneaky f4 pawn push on HIS weak side was brilliant. A brilliant diversion with is weak pieces to protect his potentially strong pieces.
My friend made a line called the "ultra instinct shaggy variation" as black. It goes a little something like: e4 b5 Bxb5 Ba6 Bxa6 Nxa6 d4 Nc5 dxc5 d6 cxd6 Qxd6 Qxd6 cxd6 Nf3 O-O-O Black is now down two pawns and a knight and is now comfortably castled queenside with no protection and is about to get ripped in half. He's never won a game with it, by the way.
Remember, every time you think you’ve made a brilliant it’s probably a blunder, and every time you think you just made a huge blunder you’ve gotten a mate in 15.
Levy at the end when you sacrificed the queen for the rook and found mate in 6 I think its faster to sacrifice the bishop for the pawn, cause if the king takes its lost. If he doesnt take you can take the rook with check while the bishop protects.
I really suck at chess so it’s interesting seeing how these grandmaster games have really strong and creative plans that usually take an unorthodox path. Its starts to sound like an artist talking instead of a player. It’s also interesting seeing how moves differ from the computers “best move”. Used to play a lot more chess a few years ago but these new chess youtubers have made me fall in love with outsmarting opponents again.
